Automobilista 2 V1.1.0.0 RELEASED - Now Updated to V1.1.0.5

Without trying it, I would agree with you, 10% did sound a bit low to me, too. But as I told you, I tried it in my real car, which is way less powerful and has a much heavier flywheel than a race car, and I noticed the same thing, 10% throttle was enough to almost redline it in neutral. Try it in your own car as well and see how it works, maybe you will be surprised as well!

 

In neutral there is no rolling resistance, no air drag, no weight to lug around. Easily reaching the rev line with little input in neutral is absolutely normal. You are putting power out with only the mechanical parts providing any resistance. With more modern cars providing throttle curves as well, this might require more or less input as well.

Compare turning the pedals of your bicycle with this. Drop it in the 1st/biggest gear in the front and back plateau. With the back wheel in the air, you will see you can get the wheel spinning with 1 finger but if you have someone mounted on the bike the amount of force needed is much much higher.

 

I confirm, Curitiba has also such strange effects on main straight...

 

I get all the facts and figures etc, and I agree with what's happening.
But in reality 10% is too low for the rpm to rise so fast to redline, its almost an on/off switch.
There's no gradual build/linear output, its just nothing then redline, wheres the ability to gradually raise the rpm/hold at a set rpm using throttle inputs.
Just seems a little bit extreme from my side.
But it might be my pedals although I've just downloaded the latest drivers, plus on ACC and Raceroom it seems normal.
I'll have to have another fiddle tomorrow.
Thanks for testing above.

 

It is. I reported it long ago.

 

I think we've exhausted this completely off-topic tangent...PLEASE!

 

I would like to take this thread a while to thank Reiza Studio for their great work and 1000 hours of fun in which I have been able to ride my hypnotic laps on fantastic circuits and experience many exciting moments in races in cars that I think are great simulated, which I can fully trust and, with a few changes to the settings, can adjust to suit my wishes.
I have every confidence in the development, that things are perfected and that the beauty flaws are ironed out.
Then there's a lot of things coming up.....
It can only get better....

My humble thanks for developing Automobilista 2 and making it available so I can enjoy it.
I love it ...

 

Nicely put.
1000hrs. Blimey you dont sleep much either!

 

How much in the beta? I have about double in the beta to the main release. But 1000 hours is impressive.

 

Almost 200 hours, i prefer the normal release.

 

I have friends with over 2K hour of PC2 and still counting. Just wondering why they hesitate to move on the AMS2.

 

I'm at 400 hours

 

So who's going to start the "AMS2 dedicated hrs " thread?

@ToMythTo I have friends with over 2K hour of PC2 and still counting. Just wondering why they hesitate to move on the AMS2.


Thats a good question.

 

Sounds like...
"so who is going to bring a ruler so we can measure our pen...s while at school's bathroom?"

 

I made the step quite recently. I think once they see the most recent improvements and the direction its heading in then its likely more will see the light. For me personally it was always a wait and see decision, but now Ive seen, and there is no more need to wait

 

ehy man, you got lot of good time !!!!!!!!!

 

Hrs of use speaks volumes about customer satisfaction. Value for money etc. hundreds of hrs or thousands , well thats cheap entertainment for a few bucks,

@DaVeX not what I had in mind but funny,

 

Ahem....tape measure.....
